I've owned Plantronics headsets and I wasn't impressed with the sound. With this headset, once you take their mixer out of the loop I wouldn't expect it to be much better than the ones I've heard. The mixer piece is the key selling point of that system, designed to mix in other devices like cell phones and mp3 players. It's not a Mixamp alternative. There are other headsets that have detachable mics and there are certainly better sounding headphones than the Plantronics sets I've heard before. Heck, my KSC 75 blew away my old Gamecom headset and was more comfortable as well.

They're from my donor pair of vintage Beyer DT901's with a bum driver. Slightly increased soundstage at the cost of some of the bass. Probably because of the extra thickness of the pads. They're twice as thick but have a smaller inner diameter.

Part of me just wants to stuff the pads with memory foam or something. The pads are fine overall, they just lack density. It's almost like they aren't even pads, but a cloth that rests between the headphone and your head. I dunno why Sony went with such a thin pad. To be fair, the Steelseries Siberia pads are also really thin, but they retain their shape a lot better. If only they had a large diameter...Edited by Mad Lust Envy - 10/9/13 at 11:37pm

Anyone had experience with the DT770 Pros? I wasn't sure if they were uncomfortable on my jaw because they were new or what. The ear cups were absolute heaven on my ears, but I returned them because of the fact that they clamped the arms of my glasses to my head and sat a little uncomfortably on my jaw. The mids also sounded recessed to me but I have a Xonar DG sound card now (Not sure if it'll make a difference but hey). I just want a really comfortable pair of full size headphones, preferably with velour pads that I can use for EDM / Pop music and games.
